Haven't people been having problems installing the Top Speed one? That's the impression I got when I researched the ebay one. If fitment wasn't bad, I'd consider it as $320 isn't a bad price.

To me, the Pedro mod/exhaust bypass is like doing half of what I am suggesting. You're bypassing the muffler completely but with only 1.25" piping. Since the secondary cats seem to be the most restrictive part, I don't think I'd be losing a ton of back pressure by removing the muffler.

Yes, sound is definitely subjective. Who knows, if I experiment with this and don't like it, you'll see a set of tubes in the classifieds for someone else to try, hehe.
